Meter Reading

Manual Meter Reading

The ADR meter reading solution consists of server software that manages field force logistics and collects meter data from handheld units in the field via manual or automated reads. Based on open technology, the system allows our customers to use commodity priced handheld computers rather than expensive and inflexible proprietary hardware. Clients purchase their own hardware if preferred.

Contract Meter Reading

The ADR solution consists of an application running on commercially available, non-proprietary, ruggedised, IP67 compliant handheld computers communicating with a back office management system over cellular (e.g. GPRS, CDMA, 3G) networks. It also integrates data from other transfer modes such as the web, IVR and AMR. The solution provides a single interface to the utility billing system (e.g. Gentrack, SAP, Agility) for timely, accurate and consistent billing.

The ADR solution enables the management of multiple retailers/utility providers so readers can service multiple clients on the same route. It has the flexibility to handle both cyclic (scheduled) and special readings across multiple geographies

IOT Meter Reading

Smart water meters are a form of IoT, a network of technologies which can monitor the status of physical objects, capture meaningful data, and communicate that data over a wireless network to a software application for analysis on a computer in the cloud. A smart device is associated with each object which provides the connectivity and a unique digital identity for identifying, tracking and communicating with the object. A sensor within or attached to the device is connected to the Internet by a local area connection and can also have wide area connectivity. Typically, each data transmission from a device is small in size but the number of transmissions can be frequent.

Automated Meter Reading

A cloud-based solution with a focus on enabling data to be fully utilised and have a spatially aware database and interfaces. For acquisition of meter reading data the solution utilises a fixed network and provides customer’s easy access to a “cloud” based solution via a secure web portal. It helps with reduced capital expenditure, improved system reliability, improves network efficiency, with a low cost of ownership.
